Nacho Baby Shower

This past week kind of flew by. I was crazy tired after work. Being pregnant in my 3rd trimester while working full time is no joke. I pretty much have to sit all night long. Everyday by 6th period I feel like I'm going to go into labor. My job is so physical with cooking labs. I brought a pair of tennis shoes for my classroom. I cannot be in regular shoes, by 6th period I change into my classroom shoes and have no effs to give. Dress and tennis shoes, you betcha. I had one of my friends who is a midwife come and speak to my Child Development class. It was so great to have her come and share her expertise and experiences. She also gave me a live exam which will probably be very memorable for the students. We put up the Christmas decor extra early. I usually like to put it up the weekend before Thanksgiving but I won't have my kids that weekend so I did it this weekend instead. No regrets! Piper is SOOO happy. She seems to love Christmas the very most.

My friend Chelsey wanted to throw me a baby shower but she lives in Texas so she got my talented, amazing sister-in-law Christy involved. They planned the cutest surrogacy shower ever. It was super amazing and generous of them to do that. It was super fun to see my friends and eat yummy food. My sister Kelsey came and it was extra fun to spend some time with her. Now it's time to get ready for work next week. 5 more days to break. WAHOOO! We can make it!

Finished with pictures. It looks good! The kids were very happy.

My friend Katy the midwife.

She gave me a quick exam so the students hear the baby heartbeat.

My 4th period class. Some of them are thrilled to be getting their picture taken. Haha.

The kid ornament tree. Love it! 

Love it!

So cute!

Haha.

Friends!

The talent!

Haha!

Piper added the balloons to her space under the stairs. She is in heaven.

Haha,

Birthday Week

Well it's been a bit of a weird week. I hate politics and I hate that my birthday is always near election time. I am not happy about the results but I'm also pretty detached from it. I just don't see the point in getting an ulcer over something I have zero control over. If Trump becomes a dictator and we lose all of our rights and we have a Civil War or World War 3 I will still not have any control over it, so whatever.  Probably not the best attitude I guess. Despite everyone being elated or terribly depressed I had a pretty enjoyable birthday week. I went to a show with my friend Kristine on Monday night, normally I don't like to out on a school night but school was canceled because of the election the next day so I went. I had my glucose blood test on Tuesday and I passed, no gestational diabetes for me. That evening my aunt Beverly and cousin Sherry took me to dinner for my birthday. It was fun to eat and chat with them. On my birthday I stole my kids and had them join me for dinner. We went to Texas Roadhouse, I mostly like to go there for the rolls. Haha. On Thursday Gabe and Christy invited me over for a birthday dinner for me and Lukey whose birthday is November 7th. On Friday Hart and Jory took me to dinner. Today a couple of friends took me to lunch. I've been pretty spoiled. Last night I went to the movies with some friends. 

Today I was supposed to go to birthday breakfast with a couple of friends but I rescheduled. I need time to get stuff done today. My goals are to lesson plan, meal prep, and clean my house a bit. I'm also working on a wall project. Piper and Ryan said my house doesn't feel cozy. What now??? They also feel like my walls are too white and empty. Well all of that ticked me off and I've been on a mission to fill up some empty space. I'm almost done. I just need to print out some pictures to add to the frames but hopefully they will like it and if they don't they can suck it. My house IS cozy. Kids are dumb. 

My room at Borah is HUGE and it's also so crowded and filled with stuff it makes me feel very suffocated. I am finally starting to feel comfortable getting rid of some stuff and emptying the space out! I have been clearing it out and it already feels so much better. I had 6 catering carts floating around the room and I was able to move them to a spare science room across the hall. I got rid of all of the decor above the kitchen cabinets. It looks very empty and I'm sure my students hate it but I just feel happy to have some clear space. I cannot wait to have less stuff in there. I think I will be nesting in my room. I am on a mission. Watch out. 

I added the flower canvas pics in my room. They were complaining about my room as well. Haha.

I added the wall collage next to the TV. I am looking for pictures to put in the frames.

I added a little bathroom decor.

Halloween!

Wahoo, last week was a big week but I  made it through. Ryan had his birthday on Tuesday. We didn't do much. I took him to the skate park and made him some homemade pizza. We had plans to go to jump time or something this weekend but nobody is feeling it so maybe we will do it next time. I can't believe he's 11. It's crazy. He's such a cute, sweet, funny boy.

For my Child Development class I planned a preschool Halloween party like the previous teacher and it worked! I sent out emails seeking parents to bring their kids and we had 11 kids come. My two classes planned the activities and executed them with the kids. The kids seemed happy and the parents like it so it was a success. We will try again for a Christmas party. I'm also on my second weekend sending out the fake babies with students. That has been super stressful to figure out how to program and work those crazy demon babies. I will be curious to see how this batch of students did with them. Someone last week "killed" their baby. Whoops, and traumatic.

Trick or treating was fun. We just went for an hour and the kids got a ton of candy. We haven't done much this weekend. I think we all just enjoy downtime at home after a busy school/work week. I think Corbin is going to quit his job. Honestly I don't blame him. He had to work too much. I would really like him to get a job this summer. Fingers crossed for that. 

Ryan's 11th birthday!

Trick or Treat!

Cute Halloween treats!

 

The haul!

Haha!

I love when my kids play together.

28 weeks!
